Have you got your Tickets for Rotary Southland Raffle ?
The Rotary Southland Raffle is a Southland Rotary Club collaborative fundraiser for the Grace Street Project.
The Rotary Raffle is a layer of the 9 Rotary Clubs collaborating to support alongside the PlaceMakers Southern Scooter Challenge, fundraiser for The Grace Street Project.
The Southern Scooter Challenge will see around 200 riders, including our very own Club president Michael travelling the 194‑kilometre route from Teretonga Raceway to Te Anau on Saturday 21 March.
Members of the Rotary Clubs across Southland will also be supporting “hands on” during the event and coordinating a "finish Line' event in Te Anau.
Now in its ninth year, the Southern Scooter Challenge has raised nearly $1 million for charity. Every dollar raised from the 2026 event will support The Grace Street Project, a community-led initiative building an 800m² hub in South Invercargill that will be open to the entire Southland community when complete.
2,500 Rotary raffle tickets have been distributed across the 9 Southland Rotary Clubs.
Call for support has gone out to members to take a book or two of 10 Raffle tickets and sell within their networks.
Opportunities have been created to support members to sell tickets and increase awareness of The Grace Street Project at Invercargill Central and Elles Road New World.
Thanks to the members who have helped out with Raffle promotion and awareness of The Grace Street Project at Invercargill Central.
If you have not got your tickets yet or want an opportunity to sell tickets to a wider network please reach out to Lisa-Maree on 027 2304 611.
